LOTE French: April Fools’ Day
avril – poisson d’avril (April fools’ Day)
A poisson d’avril is a joke made on April 1st.
Did you know students at this College now don’t need to wear a school uniform? Poisson d’avril! (It’s a joke)
Children in France try to stick a fish picture on their friends’ back. When it is discovered, they shout “Poisson d’avril!”
There are many, many theories as to how this tradition started. Some say that April was a bad month for fishing, or a time when fishing was forbidden. So, to serve fish to eat in April was impossible – it could only be a joke.

We give thanks to God as the Creator, owner and sustainer of this Land. We honour the Indigenous People who have tended and cared for it.
We acknowledge that we meet on the traditional lands of the Wadawurrung people. They are the first people to have lived in this region and the custodians of this area.
We pay our respects to their leaders past & present and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who are present.
We ask Jesus’ blessing on all who continue to work for the healing and restoration of this Land and our Communities across Australia.
Every learner reaching their God-given potential
